I wish I didn't have an outdoors job on days like this. D:
I'm not sure what you mean by that. It was just an oversight.
I think the proposal for banning violent video games all comes down to the old "games are for kids" factor. In this thread alone there are several references to this misunderstanding, phrases such as "letting kids being kids" is irrelevant to the notion of banning games that are clearly marked as unsuitable for persons under 18 years of age.
I believe violent media is capable of de-sensitising children to real world violence; however I don't believe in introducing censorship and government legislation to replace parental responsibility.
I've played Manhunt (the game in question), enjoyed it and so far haven't had any impulses to commit acts of violence. Why should I and millions of others be denied this because of a retailer illegally selling age-restricted games to a minor or because of parents failing to monitor their kids' behavior and video game content?
